MCL Manchester has been officially appointed audio-visual contractor for The Skills Show 2002. The Prince’s Trust event, which will take place between November 13-16 this year, will be held in 55,000sq.m of temporary structure on a disused docklands site in Salford Quays. Designed as a celebration of skills, which will motivate and inspire young people to learn, and encourage them to aspire to excellence, ‘Skillcity’ will house extensive exhibition and demonstration areas, a live performance stage and comprehensive conference facilities.

The show will draw on MCL Manchester’s considerable experience in staging large-scale events, with previous projects including Creamfields, Party in the Park, Manchester Millennium Celebrations and many more. MCL will be providing audio, video, lighting and staging requirements for the organizers and will be preferred suppliers for all exhibitors’ AV requirements.

Neil Harrison, MCL Project Manager, remarked: "The Skills Show 2002 will be a fitting end to what is a very exciting year for us at MCL Manchester. With the Commonwealth Games in July / August and our continually expanding corporate events business, this should put MCL firmly on the map as the premier audio visual staging company in the UK."
